On: January 4, 2023
Nvidia’s game streaming service GeForce Now’s gaining access to heaps of RTX 4080 graphics playing cards. Meaning loads of frames on a variety of platforms, as much as 240Hz, all with out breaking the financial institution for one among these high-end playing cards to name your personal.

DLSS 3 might positively make a giant distinction to the streaming expertise, ideally serving to hold CPU utilisation low to permit these server pods to ship increased efficiency. That mentioned, there is a particular new improve coming to cope with latency: Aggressive Reflex 240Hz Mode.
Nvidia Reflex is the corporate’s latency-busting and measuring know-how, and it has been on the desktop for some time now. With this new Aggressive Reflex 240Hz Mode, Nvidia is bringing that kind of aggressive speed-up to the cloud, within the hopes of creating cloud gaming rather less laggy.
Nvidia touts a 34ms end-to-end latency in Fortnite with the brand new mode enabled, and I’ve to say that could be a fairly spectacular quantity. As Nvidia notes, that is quicker than an Xbox Collection X in 60Hz mode, however the factor to notice is that body price does immediately correlate to latency. What which means is increased body price, decrease latency. There are different components, too, nonetheless, akin to enter latency, monitor latency, and net connection latency—that final one issues for streaming video games, after all.
